Just wondering what people think is better for light to medium off roaring usually on sand.

I've currently got a 5spd l series with an ej22 which will soon have a 2" lift kit and 26" M/Ts but i was thinking of selling it and buying a newer outback. Obviously the outback would be a much nicer car in general but how would it compare off road and on road with a 2"lift and bigger tires like my l series?

There's 2 main reasons I want to sell the l
1, rust. It's got a bit and it'll only get worse
2, not engineered for the ej22

The multi link rear end is "tricker" but really is no different to lifting an L series - lift blocks between body and subframes. This only applies to Gen3 onwards.

Define better in your sentence about the 4wd! They have the good low range and engaged centre for a locked front to rear coupling. What they also come with is small tyres and small brakes with an underpowered engine. These can be modified or purchased already done in the outback. Then trick out minor things. Big one could be a custom box if you really wanted to get the best out of your subi. This area is always overlooked IMO.
